Fraud management

Zavarovalnica Triglav introduced a zero tolerance of fraud and thus clearly expressed its commitment to fair, responsible and legitimate business operations. The fraud management policy is based on three pillars: prevention, detection and investigation of fraud. These three pillars of anti-fraud defence are integrated in all business processes in our insurance company and enable fraud management across the entire range of its operations.

By managing insurance fraud and other criminal offences we will lower our costs and the costs of our clients. elp us be more effective in preventing, detecting and investigating fraud by telling us about attempted or committed cases of fraud.

Involvement of employees in the prevention of insurance fraud

Triglav employees are trained to prevent and detect insurance fraud. A training course includes more than 1,500 employees involved in underwriting and claims settlement. Training is of crucial importance for raising employee awareness regarding the negative consequences of fraud as well as for creating and promoting an anti-fraud zero tolerance culture.

Service for the prevention, detection and investigation of fraud

Zavarovalnica Triglav has a Fraud Prevention, Detection and Investigation Department (SPORP), directly accountable to the Management Board. In this area, Zavarovalnica Triglav follows the best practices of modern global companies and operates in accordance with the guidelines of global organisations, such as the ACFE and the IAIS. SPORP deals with the prevention, detection and investigation of other types of criminal offences, where external players could cause damage to the insurance company. They are divided in the following areas:

Conference on insurance fraud

In the framework of the campaign, a conference on insurance fraud was held on 14 May 2013. Its aim was to initiate an expert debate on insurance fraud and to further raise awareness of the general public about this issue.

The conference presented the results of a study on the perception and understanding of the consequences of insurance fraud, while at the round table different aspects of insurance fraud were discussed by experts.

Don’t let imagination turn into fraud
